EA has announced that its acclaimed shooter Battlefield 3 is to receive a trio of digital expansion packs, delivering new modes, maps and weapons over the coming months.
Following on from the success of the Back to Karkand expansion, developer DICE is producing significant new downloadable content packs that will greatly revamp the game experience, starting with the Close Quarters pack in June 2012.
This first content pack will see players doing battle in an infantry-only combat environment, with a focus on restricted level designs and vertical gameplay, while new guns, assignments and unique dog tags will be included.
Following this will be the autumn expansion Armored Kill, which promises vehicular mayhem and the single largest map in Battlefield history, while the final pack - End Game - will be released in winter and remains top secret.
Patrick Bach, executive producer for Battlefield 3, said: "Our expansions are designed to excite our large and active fan base while attracting new recruits with gameplay that is dynamic and unpredictable every time."
Battlefield 3 was released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC in October 2011 and topped the UK all-formats chart, with more than 12 million copies having now been sold worldwide.
